When I saw the British jet in image 5032 I figured... this is the cockpit of a B-58 Hustler glued onto SR-71 Blackbird engines and stapled to an F-104 Starfighter tail. The boys at the boneyard must have had some spare time to build that plane from discarded parts. But after a little internet surfing, I discovered it's a Bristol 188 VF923, a prototype from 1962!

 

Then the wacky jet in image 5033 pops up. I cannot fathom what it could be. It looks like it has a glass cockpit! Time to research some more. Ratsun Rocks!
